I weaned 10 months ago after breastfeeding for 19 months. I can still express some milk (happens in the shower sometimes). I am also on mirena, btw, but I am pretty sure it's unrelated.
Many women who ever got pregnant keep producing a minute amount of milk, usually not enough to notice. If it's enough to cause leakage, you could consult your doctor, exclude any physical issues and pregnancy.
Also ask yourself if there is anything that could have stimulated milk flow (nipple stimulation for example).
Good luck.

I have heard some woman say that even after they are all done breastfeeding they never really truly "dry up" they always have a little milk. That hasn't been the case with me but I also know that with both my pregnancies I didn't start making any milk until the very end. But if you still think that you are pregnant go to the doctors just to have some piece of mind.

You should go into the clinic and get tested to be sure.

Somehow there can be a little milk leaking years after you have babies. Just how God made us.
